Fergie reckons the Mexican marksman nicknamed Chicharito should be hitting the benchmark considering the talent he has around him – a statement backed up by his sensational hat-trick in last night’s win at Aston Villa.

Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie are both weighing in with assists.

And there is plenty of ammunition coming from the wide areas with Antonio Valencia and Nani providing quality crosses.

With a supply line like that, Ferguson expects his players to net 100 goals this term and the striker has been pencilled in to get a fifth of them.

But Hernandez said: “I never have a target. I never do that. The only target here is to play a lot of games to help my team and with my professional aims to do my business on and off the pitch.”
